PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 9, 1983
lems. I feel that Christ is moving more forcefully in preparing
the bride. It is encouraging to see this process taking place.
PERTH, WA--BOB REGAZZOLI: Many comments have been expressed on
how "meaty" this year's Feast was. Despite this, there seems to
have been a rash of marriage problems since, and the two tapes on
marriage couldn't have been more timely. Hopefully, we'll soon
see some changes with this meat being digested.
The overall
atmosphere is very positive.
BUNDABERG, QLD--TERRY VILLIERS: A number have begun to come to
grips with long-standing problems and are making pleasing pro
gress. The young people are also steadily becoming more turned
on toward the Church and are quite enthusiastic toward Y.O.U.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA--YONG CHIN GEE: A very positive attitude
after a joyous Feast. Members seemed to be spiritually rejuve
nated and eager to get more out of services.
--Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services
UPDATE FROM MAIL PROCESSING
WATS Response Stays High Through November-December
Weekend WATS response has remained quite high following the all-time record
of 11,604 calls, received on November 12 and 13 of this year for the program
"Revelation: End-time Prophecies." Although calls dropped to 7,125 the
next weekend, this was still an above-average response. The following two
programs, "Revelation: Great Tribulation" (November 26-27) and "The Plain
Truth About Christmas" (December 3-4) each resulted in over 10,000 calls.
WATS response is expected to be very good during the rest of December. A
program on the Middle East in prophecy is scheduled, and "The Plain Truth
About Christmas" will be shown again on December 24 and 25.
From the increased response it is evident that more and more callers are
beginning to recognize that this is the Church of God and that Mr. Armstrong
stands as a lone voice of truth crying out in a wilderness of religious
confusion. Among the many WATS comments were the following:
He is the first man I ever listened to who made sense as far as
religion is concerned.
Everything he says is right out of the Bible.
I don't know of anyone who inspires me so much.
Toll-free Number Now Available in California
The toll-free number (800-423-4444) used across the continental United
States can now be dialed by viewers in California. Until recently, Cali
fornians had to use a different number to order literature offered on "The
WORLD TOMORROW" program. This new service will in all likelihood increase
the number of California calls in the future as the 800 number is easier to
use and remember.
Callers from the states of Alaska and Hawaii must still use the number (213)
304-6111 and may call collect.
